LA TIMES' HOMICIDE REPORT (LAT HR)
COMPARISON TO FBI's SUPPLEMENTARY HOMICIDE REPORT (SHR) 2012 Vivian Lam, Brandon Lam, Courtney Lee, Richa Shah In the FBI's SHR the group found that there were 11 reported homicides that didn't show up in the LAT HR based on age, gender and date. In the LAT HR, there were 18 that didn't show up in the SHR based on age, date and location. There were 23 police officer involved homicides that were consistent between the two databases. The group found that five were very close to matching both databases, but were a year off in age or reported the death in the adjoining neighborhood. |
